To long-time Republicans who have been left behind by their party, I invite you to take a closer look at Idaho Democrats.

Lawmakers claim they will add funding, but they have backed Idaho into a devastating default budget.

How we got here is a lesson Idahoans cannot afford to forget. As our schools have gone long underfunded.

The announcement of a new federal grant marks a significant stride toward expanding this proven approach across our state.

The West Bonner School District is a cautionary tale, illustrating the stakes and the ease with which extremism can take hold.

People traveling in vehicles are facing increasing risks. During what law enforcement calls the “100 Deadliest Days,” the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Idaho experienced 21% more car accident fatalities in 2023 than in 2022.

Every industry in Idaho faces a pressing need for more qualified workers with specific skills. The demands of the modern job market have evolved.

It is imperative that Idaho avoids future calamities like this one.

While Republican state leaders dropped the ball in such a profound way, they have no sense of accountability to the kids and families who are impacted.

The return to attendance-based funding means schools will lose millions of dollars.
